X) Prison visits
4) Placement of permanently unemployable convicts
The EPR lay down in par. 17.1 that prisoners shall be allocated, as far as possible, to prisons close
to their homes. Under RDG 71/2013, the Břeclav Prison is the only minimum security prison for the
imprisonment of permanently unemployable men.
By not allowing permanently unemployable convicts allocated to a minimum security prison to serve
their sentences in any other prison (another region), the Prison Service creates obstacles or limitations
to exercising the right to convicts’ private and family life.
This is not the only category of convicts who are limited in possible assignment to prisons in other
regions. 137
It is very likely that prisons’ profiles will change in connection with the legislative proposal for a change
in internal differentiation of prisons. 138
I recommend that the General Directorate of the Prison Service:
•• Takes into account, as part of the change in prison
profiles, that some blocks exist in only a single
prison, which is a factor limiting the possibility of
placing convicts as close to their homes as possible.
137
the only
block for
permanently
unemployable
male convicts
serving
imprisonment
in a minimum
security prisons
exists in the
Břeclav Prison
Examples include only a single block specialised in protective sexological treatment (used to treat sex offenders) for all high security
prisons, and only a single block specialised in imprisonment of convicts with mental illnesses and behavioural disorders subject to
individualised treatment for all high security prisons.
